Very stormy today with Tornado warnings. We had heavy thunderstorms until noon. During the break in the rain I decided to go ahead and feed since the goats and sheep do not come out of the barn while it is raining.

Zeke, our Border Leicester ram has decided that he is going to eat Lola's, our livestock guardian dog, dog food and she lets him. He probably outweighs Lola by about 100lbs and so he gets it. He tried to take Tank's food but Tank will stand up to him. We tried to feed the dogs while the sheep were eating but Lola is evidently a slow eater and Zeke took her food again. Dusty had to stand with Lola and keep Zeke away from her food while she ate.

Dusty went to check on the creek and it is about a foot from coming over the bank. They went to check it last night and found an otter playing and eating in the water.

We had showers off an on all afternoon. The grass is going to have to be cut with a bush hog if we don't get it mowed. Tomorrow is supposed to be dry so hopefully it can be mowed then.

I spent the rest of the evening fixing and supper and typing.
